I just think deeper movies, in general, can be/will be appreciated more by an adult audience.

I wish I went to the same theaters as you. Maybe it's the cold weather or something but around here adult audiences take any lull in action and reduction in volume as a reason to critique some aspect of the movie or make a smart ass remark that can be heard ten rows away. I cannot wait until I finish the construction of my home theater so I don't have to deal with our "adult audiences" any longer.

yup - I don't do theaters anymore. There are far too many movies out and I have a giant back log of them at home. I don't need to waste the money at the theaters unless the movie is HUGE and it has been a long time since something that "epic" has moved me to make me feel like I had to rush out to theaters.

As for the LOTR discussion - I appreciate it and seeing others views/takes/beliefs on the topics. Thank you for your collective perspectives

Behind the Scenes video about the lead up to filming for The Hobbit (hosted by Peter Jackson). From the sounds of things, we should be seeing more of these. Watching this not only makes me excited to see the Hobbit, but sort of miss the years that the LOTR trilogy was coming out in theaters. It was a fun time looking forward to the next installment each year.

Although this is technically Lord of the Rings news, I didn't know if we wanted to dig up those old threads or not. Anyways, it sounds like AMC will be showing the Extended Editions in theaters prior to the Blu Ray releases this summer. We don't have AMC in our town here, but I think within an hour's drive, so it is tempting to go check them out.

None of the Elves are mentioned by name, Legolas is from Mirkwood, his father is the Elvenking in the book so it stands to reason he would be there during the movie.

As far as Old Bilbo and Frodo, I think I have read somewhere that they are going to start the movie with a flashforward to Frodo and Bilbo discussing Bilbo's book which leads to the beginning of the movie.

As far as Saruman, I believe Gandalf disappears right as they are entering Mirkwood as talk of the Necromancer comes up (which turns out to be Sauron). I would guess there will be a scene of the 5 wizards and the chief elves (The White Council) discussing what to do about Sauron. There are some theories that the entire White Council may go after the Necromancer/Sauron and do battle forcing him back to Mordor
